Juniper SRX Series Firewall Reviews

I used this solution in my previous organization. We used it to protect data centers and some private resources.

What I like the most about Juniper is that they have the same CLI on all routers, switches, and firewalls. If you have worked with any Juniper device, such as a Juniper router, you will be able to work with an SRX, which is really cool. It is a nice experience to work with every device of Juniper, not only firewalls.

As a networking person, I don't really have any major issues with this device. Based on my experience of using it in a cluster, it could be more stable. I had an incident when one of the SRXs in a cluster couldn't learn ARP.

It is a good solution, but firewalls don't seem to be an area of development for Juniper. They are focusing on data centers, routers, and switches, not firewalls.

Its stability isn't bad. In two years of supporting this device, I had only one issue. I had an incident when one of the SRXs in a cluster couldn't learn ARP, and the request didn't move between cluster units. I had to fix this manually, which wasn't really cool because I had to get up in the night because of this incident.

We weren't using it in a high load infrastructure.

I didn't really need their support. I only needed their support for the demo of their CSR product because it wasn't working as mentioned in their documents.

Its initial setup is straightforward. If you are a network engineer with some experience, you will be able to configure it easily. I have configured many Juniper firewalls, and it was really easy. Configuring the device isn't a problem. The main problem is preparing the environment and the infrastructure for your device.

It took more than one year to use this solution in production because I used a lot of features in my demo infrastructure, such as VSRX, to demonstrate this solution to potential and existing customers.

I like the SRX series. In fact, I like all products from Juniper. 

I would rate Juniper SRX an eight out of ten.

Our primary use is having a virtual appliance vSRX PoC in telco. We tested integration to their Vim, function and performance.

vSRX's performance is best with less resources, such as CPU and memory. It is easy to scale up by attaching more CPU and memory.

vSRX is easy to deploy to any virtual infrastructure, such as OpenStack, VMware, and even Docker (cSRX). It has already been tested with virtual acceleration, such as DPDK, SR-IOV, and PCI-Passthrough.

It could improve areas which need high performance. 

Small enterprises or telco have variant licenses, and this licensing model should be improved.

We use Juniper SRX to create VPN tunnels to the data center.

I like that Juniper SRX is easy to use, scalable, and stable with good performance.

In the next release, I would like to have a better web interface. It needs to be more user-friendly. Right now, you can only access many features through the console.

We have been using Juniper SRX for about five years.

Juniper SRX is a stable solution that performs well.

Juniper SRX is a scalable solution.

Technical support is brilliant, but I guess you have to pay for it.

The initial setup was straightforward. The time it takes to implement this solution depends on the complexity of the configuration.

We implemented this solution by ourselves.

In general, their price definitely couldn't be cheaper. 

I would recommend this solution to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Juniper SRX a ten.

The primary use case of this solution is as a next generation firewall  If I have a customer who needs a good router for the office, but they're not in a complicated situation with VPNs and the like, the SRX is great.

This is a flexible platform, it's great as an inter-segmentation firewall or border or arch-firewall. The solution has a solid position on the market as a security device. The most important feature in the SRX is the application visibility and control because it gives the user a lot of information about the application in the traffic. Juniper SRX is great as a smaller router for smaller offices.

I think with this Juniper product, the CPU switch could be improved for a better overall performance of traffic flow. I'd also like to see a threat intelligence feed which would hopefully monitor the network traffic flowing through the SRX to detect malware and other content.

I've been using this solution for a month. 

The overall stability is good. 

Some models are scalable but you have to have VMs to modify resources to get better performance. 

We have premium support from the company and we provide support to our customers. 

I don't deal with implementation but in a typical project we have sale, pre-sales and deployment engineers. If the project is really big, we also use project managers. There would be four people involved in a typical project. If the product requires integration of different technologies like web application firewalls, we bring in more engineers specialized in different type of technologies to integrate them together. 

I really like the architecture of the product, but it's not a leader in the market. It's a very good platform, but if the user needs more performance on the edge, I would prefer something else. If a user needs a more sophisticated next generation firewall feature or threat intelligence themes, I'm not sure they'll get that with SRX devices. I think there's a gap there. I think it's a good solution but not for everyone. 

I rate this solution a seven out of 10. 

The primary use case of this solution is as a firewall and a security gateway. 

The most valuable feature is the support.

The user interface and the GUI need improvement.

In the next release, I would like to see mobile support.

I have been using Juniper SRX for ten years.

We are using various versions.

It's a stable solution.

Juniper SRX is scalable.

We have 10 users in our organization.

Technical support is perfect.

We have not used another product previously.

The initial setup is straightforward and it took three hours to deploy.

Juniper SRX does not require a lot of maintenance.

We did not implement it ourselves. We had help from technical support.

We plan to continue the usage of this program in the future.

This is a product that I can recommend to others who are planning to implement it.

I would rate Juniper SRX a ten out of ten.

We are a distributor and Juniper SRX is one of the products that we work with. The SRX is a service gateway device that serves two main functions. The primary function is as a firewall, and the second is for routing traffic.

It can serve as a branch firewall or data center firewall, as well as a next-generation firewall, based on the license.

Juniper SRX has many good features that suit a variety of customer requirements.

Performance is a strong point.

There are a lot of features that customers do not know about and I think that better documentation would help when it comes to learning how to use the product.

Technical support could be improved by adding local engineers.

I have been working with this product for a few months.

The Juniper SRX is very stable. Stability and performance are the strengths of Juniper products.

We have clients of all sizes for this product, from small businesses to service providers. It is very scalable.

I would rate the technical support at medium. The support is good, but other vendors have local engineers. This is something that could be improved.

The initial setup is straightforward and very easy. The length of time for deployment depends on the size of the solution.

Compared to other vendors, the pricing of this solution is good.

This is a product that I very much recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The most valuable features in this solution are AppSecure and the IPsec VPN.

The solution previously had a Clientless SSL VPN, but it has been removed and I would like access to it again.

The GUI needs improvement. I can work fine with the command line (CLI), but new people would like a better user interface.

I would like to see an SSH VPN in the next release.

I am very satisfied with the stability of this solution.

We have more than one hundred users for this solution. They range from non-technical, Level 1 users, up to administrators, technical support staff, and expert-level users.

I am satisfied with their technical support. It is better than what I have experienced with some other solutions.

This is the first solution that we implemented.

I find the setup simple, given that I have been using it for ten years. The deployment is quite easy and fast.

The price of this solution is more than other products, but it's stable, and the technical support is better than I have seen with others.

The solution was in place before I joined the company, so I am unaware if we evaluated other solutions.

We have found this solution to be easy to implement and easy to use. It is a little more expensive than some products, but it is worth the investment.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
